New filings show Democratic fundraiser Henry Muñoz’s firm has received $41.6 million intended for the healthcare of NYC’s neediest, even as his legal problems mount.
Newly released documents show an entity owned by top Democratic Party official has taken in $41,642,485 in public funds since landing a gig at a medical group catering to New York City’s most vulnerable—an arrangement that has proved lucrative for both him and his political allies.
These colossal sums place Muñoz, whose professional background is in political fundraising and construction design, among thein the healthcare sector in New York City or anywhere else. SOMOS was launched in 2015 to capitalize on a new Medicaid program, which was the sole source of its funding for most of its existence.
In its response to questions from The Daily Beast, SOMOS highlighted these same projects, along with “an Olympics-themed campaign” from 2021 that also targeted children. The group further asserted that all its expenditures got the approval of its fiduciary, Montefiore Medical Center, a politically connected local hospital.
SOMOS only includes doctors in the New York City area, and Muñoz’s team would not answer questions about what proportion of the 12,000 people sampled across the country resided in neighborhoods SOMOS serves. But they argued this was a wholly justified expenditure for the organization, because they claimed the survey questions dealt with the medical needs of Hispanics.
